kio_perldoc: I’ll keep it short:

  • Ported to KDE 4.
  • The GENERATOR metainfo in the output has kio_perldoc now, so that proper blame may be placed.
  • The S<> tag in Pod now produces HTML which isn’t super broken. (Look for Mac OS in perlport)
  • Don’t try to load IMG tags. I wasn’t going to add this in except that it causes Konq 4 to crash for some reason.
  • Fix formatting of bulleted lists. Patch graciously provided by Bruce Ravel.
  • All C library functions are called like ::foo() now to avoid ambiguity. (e.g. with close())
  • Corrected a call to execlp(). If you ran kdeinit in a terminal you could actually see the man page come up…
  • Fix linkage for hyperlinks that refer to the same page.
  • The HTML output looks more like www.kde.org now.

Still needs CMake, Perl 5.8, etc. The KDE 3 version is 0.8.1, and KDE 4 version is 0.9, but it’s the same feature set.

    Is there any way we can get a simple search form on perldoc:/ ? Kinda like what search.cpan.org or something along those lines?

    Thanks though, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a while (never quite managed to get to doing it myself).
